"IN THE MIDDLE"

Diane's 7th CD has the distinction of having been recorded in New Zealand, and features the tasty production skills of veteran kiwi Anna Rugis.

Largely the work of a dedicated trio of talent, the arrangements although spartan, underscore Diane's guitar playing and vocals, along with her spirited percussion.

Bassist Neil Hannan, who also wore the hat of engineer, lends a multitude of flavors for the bottom here. The coup de grace were the touches of Anna's back-up vocals.

Diane is among an elite set who have raised their voices with Anna, among them, Van Morrison and Cat Stevens.

Recorded and mixed in Auckland, mastered in seaside Devonport by well regarded engineer Rikki Morris, the cover art features the brilliant work of NZ painter Rachel Olsen. The graphics were designed in Germany, and the discs were manufactured in the USA by Oasis, fusing this project with a panache of international effort that spotlight the dozen originals within.

Fans of Diane's live work will feel at home here, and new friends will embrace the clarity, vision, soul, and musicality
